Mrs. Frieda’s Halfway Home is a veritable hive of children, all gathered from abusive and terrible families. These terrible and freakish children try to enjoy their lives, knowing they may never be adopted, and sometimes fail miserably at this. Here, everyone’s got a secret to hide–some heavier than others.

Mr. Siva has disappeared. Fenix and Julie are leading an MIB strike team on a wild goose chase through Troy. Etsu and Nele infiltrated the MIB headquarters, and discovered that the secret organization is using the Underworld to move troops and war machines.

The balloon has gone up: the war has started early. There is only time for a few moments of last planning before Troy is plunged into fire and blood.

A reckoning, heard. A battle fiercely raged. A tide, turning. It is time for those mired in the struggle to determine how things will come to an end.

Will the children of Mrs. Frieda’s Halfway Home, their friends, and their loved ones survive the firestorm of violence that have swept over them? Who will find their way clear to emerge blinking into a new day?

It is time for those mired in the struggle to determine how things will come to an end.
